Anybody have a working link for these? The one already posted is quite dead. I’ve been eager to check these out ever since I saw that article on poynter.

Chad – then think again. These new fonts are quite honestly some of the finest screen fonts ever created. Check the link from G Stearsman above. And anyway, what about Verdana, Georgia and Trebuchet? All fine fonts from Microsoft. Credit where credit is due, and all that.

NEW, Frome the makers of Comic Sans!!!

Microsoft is absolutely the last company that comes to mind when I think of quality fonts.

Consolas absolutely rocks for code editing. It’s finally replaced Vera Sans Mono as my monospace font of choice. The others are beautiful too — can’t wait for them to become more widespread. Let’s hope MS sees fit to release them for other platforms too.

I installed these in Gnome (in Nautilus drag the .ttf files in to fonts:///) and am using Consolas in terminals and Corbel most everywhere else. Good stuff, I love the little things like the @ symbol.

Calibri is especially nice. I have it as my main font on XP. These should be a nice supplement for web design when IE7 becomes prevalent.

Those have been around for awhile for XP… since probably early spring.

Although this is no complete collection.
The Meiryo family and the Cariadings family are missing. Any info where we can get them?
